wannn,..ker On Advertising.


 John Wanamaker, the Philadelphia merchant. recently spoke ss follows about advertising, says the Savannah Morning News:
 'I never in my life used such & thing as poster, or dodger, or hand bill. My plan for fifteen years has been to buy so much space in newspaper and fill it up with what wanted. I would not give an advertisement in newspaper of 400 circulation for 5,O00 dodgers or posters If wanted to sell cheap iewelry, or run lottery scheme, I might use posters, but I would not insult a decent reading public with hand bills The class of peo- pie who read such things are poor mater isl to look to for support in mercantile affairs. deal directly with the publish CT. l say to him How long will you let me run column of matter through your paper for $100, or $500. as the case may be. let him do the figuring, and if I think he not trying to take more than his share l give him the copy. I lay aside the prohts on particular line of goods for advertising purposes The first year 1 laid $3, ,000; last year laid aside and spent $40, ,000. have done better this ear, and shall increase that sum as the profits warrant it. owe my success to the newspapers, and to them shall freely give a certain profit of yearly business |"

As A basis of permanent prosperity the

As A basis of permanent prosperity the people of Florence rest their hopes upon the agricultural developments of this DOT tion of the Gila valley. With the com pletion of the Florence canal there will be over one hundred miles of irrigating ditches in and about Florence, capable of irrigating nearly two hundred thcus- and acres of the most fertile soil in the world. A large portion of this area is vet in it's virgin state and much of it is subject to entry under the various land laws, and it may be truly said that the work of reclamation is but just commence ed and its limit is far beyond all present calculation. There is already new company in existence organized to con struct huge reservoirs and canals by which fifty thousand to seventy-hve thousand acres of land will be irrigated, and still the sources of water supply will not be exhausted. The deep, rich soil, free from alkali and capable of producing abundant crops of every variety grown in southern California and indeed sx- ceiling them in many particulars, when provided with water for irrigation affords the best and most substantial return for the capital invested than any other class of property. For fruit lands net in- come of one hundred dollars per acre is considered a small return and properly managed orchards and vineyards often net five times that sum per year. We can conceive of no greater inducement to settlers than such property offers and we can conceive of no rational person who would ask more. With such ample surroundings of incalculsbls value as a basis of future prosperity our people feel ausured that no other section of the Pacific slope has brighter prospects. The i'm portanee of the industries that are bound to spring up under 30 many rare ad vantages and breadth of resources, will shortly command the advent of s railroad through the valley when the sum of the desires of the people will be reached, for all tho other blessings of life can be created from tho abundant materials that exist here.

VISITORS to Florence point to the
 necessity for a large, commodious hotel, capable of supplying any demand made upon its Inequalities. Had the place reached the limit of it's growth the pres
 ent hotel accommodations would be ann
 pie, but it is destired to grow with rap idity that will startle some of it's go-as- you-please residents. There is nothing that gives character to 8 growing town equal to an imposing and inviting hotel, where visitors from abroad will receive accommodations equal to those they en- joysd in their eastern homes. Their first inquiry of a new place is the quality of it's hotels. Pro6ting by this knowledge the owners of many petit-larceny towns of southern California always erect . handsome hotel before another build. ing is projected within miles of it, and as rule it's rooms are all engaged before it is fully completed and it gives excellent accommodations to the newcomers while their own residences are being erected. Florence possesses the surroundings that will make It grand and fourishing city and we may reasonably expect to greet many strangers who come here to seek homes and investments. We must pre- pare to extend to them such hospitalitie, as will materially increase the first favor. able impressions they derive of the place, and this we cannot do at the present time. It is matter of such importance that our citizens should assist in con
 stIucting one by the formation of stock company for it's erection. The invest. ment will itself be a good one and tht public enterprise displayed will be bet
 ter one for the community. We urge this subject upon the attention of the people of Florence as necessary meas
 ure of progressive enterprise and ws trust it will meet with due consideration and ultimately bear the fruit of success

TIE Long Island Baptist Association has decided not to accept contributions from the city of Brooklyn for the support of the homes under their care, because such money is received for licenses and taxes, and they are opposed to the fuse of the devils money for the cause of God" Those christians are not good warriors in their great cause or they would surely forage from the enemy at every opportunity. As they have now resolved to, do they must get along as best they can with ice cream festivals, the old fashioned grab-bag and the ring-cake.

Arrangements have been consummated between the Southern Pacific and the Maricopa & Phenix railroads to lay down all the Silver King and Pinal freight at its destination, by way of Tempe, at rates materially red uced from the present tariff by way of Casa Grande. Indeed, it is stated that freight will be laid down at Silver King at about the same cost to the shippers as at Casa Grande, thereby effscting a saving of the hauling byteeans This combination presents some curious features in railroad manipulation. The two companies agree to carry freight fifty miles beyond the line of the railroad and to control freighting teams for its trans portation. The Southern Pacific volun-. tarily surrenders to the Maricopa and Phenix road large slice of its business that it could always fully control, with apparently no other object than to en- courage the branch road, and the whole rate for like distance is so materially reduced as to cover the coat of teaming to the destination of the freight. This self-sacrifice of the Southern Pacific road is the most remarkable instance of it's generosity ever exhibited, and one can compare it only to the maternal biddy giving to it's helpless chicks the nice, fat, tempting worm it had scratched so hard to obtarn. The merchants and shippers of Pinal and Silver King will profit by this peculiar arrangement; Florence will scarcely feel ary effect from the change, while Casa Grande will suffer consider ably from its loss. Before the closing of another year, however, the locomotive will be in Florence, and new arrange ments will follow that will be even more advantageous to our neighbors up in the mountains.

Reform Needed.
Phenix Herald.


 A little thrifty enterprise in the Salt River valley would turn the current of money into the valley instead of out of it. To-day Phenix is buying eggs, but ter, cheese, hams and bacon in California to supply the actual demands of our local market, and not only paying a good sum there to the middle men who make their profit but paying freight on those commodities and again the consumer is paying profit to the importer here. No wonder money is scarce in the valley; no wonder our farmers are head over heels in debt and nothing but their lands to dispose of to get out of debt. Money is scarce" IS the cry. So it Is and it should be when a people is utterly re- gardless and negligent of their own pres perity. This valley is sending cut money for freight to the amount of over $40, ,00O per month and large part of that for freight on the necessaries of life that can be produced in limited quantities right here in the valley Should the policy of the past year continue another year there will be sufficiently hard times here to squeeze every dime out of the valley and there will be plenty of mortgages called on to come to time The policy of the past year is simply suicidal, and suicide too with mountain howitzer stuck into the mouth of the community.

THE Epitaph is still harping on the Tortllita mines and parades its gross ig norance of those valuable properties by condemning them. At the same time it says "the Epitaph has never knowingly represented mining property in other than its true light" which hypocritical affectation is decidedly amusing to its read CTS. The Tortilita mines are producing bullion in paying quantities and hay pa i'd their own way for the past sever al years There are but few mining properties in Cochise county that have as good rec ord. Our faith in these mines is not to be shaken by such wild and random assertions as the Epitaph utters and un- til some better reasons are advanced for their condemnation than the base preju- dices underlying the present malicious attacks we shall give these mines the full and impartial credit their merits as bul lion producers warrant.

On Monday as the pay car on the M & P. railroad was passing through the Indian reservation on the GiA an In- dian was noticed on the track and signal ed to get of, which he did not heed. The brakes were applied, but too late to save the Indian, as he was run over and killed. The Indians have been in the habit of standing on the track before an approch- ing train, and jumping of at the last minute; the one above mentioned waited just little too lcng and is now roaming the happy hunting grounds in conse- quence. No blame could possibly be at- tached to the railroad. Tempe News.

 THE six Indians of Es-kim in zin's band, arrested by Sheriff. Fryer, are now safe in the penitentiary, enjoying better food and greater comforts than they have ever before experienced. The five convicted of resisting and obstructing an officer in the discharge of his official duty, were sentenced to seven months inn prisonment. The penalty was made light for -the-rea4on- that they claimed they did not know Sheriff Fryer was an officer and they had been told that the citizen soldiers" were coming to drive them away. They had been taught to recognize no authority other than the military and were stupidly ignorant of having offended the law by their acts. However little credence. can be placed upon any of thcir professions the court took the humane view of the subject and gave them sentence just severe enough to show them that the civil law is a stronger power than the military and one they had best not to monkey with.

THE brotherly love exhibited by some of the journals of this Territory towards their immediate contemporaries is strong ly characterized by cannibal impulses, and the impartial observer naturally con cludes that they are restrained only by the lack of the ability from "chawing'' each other all up. Our Prescott brethren smicably call each other penitentia " names, while the Pheni1 journalists dig nifty their profession in a profusion of reciprocal billingsgate The Tombstone and Tucson kilkennys haven't much left in the catalogue of wordy war for further supply of ammunition, and they are therefore enjoying a temporary truce. We believe that all of these editors are truthful men and upon this belief we greatly dislike to be compelled to accept their unimpeachsble testimony of each others depravity or else acknowledge them to be the most consummats prevari- cators of the age. Either orn hof the dilemma is bad enough.

WE read of fierce snow storms, de- structive gales and cold blizzards now prevailing throughout the states east of the Rocky mountains, while we are here enjoying the most pleasant and agreeable weather imaginable. Our doors and windows, upon these last days of Octo- Der, are thrown wide open to admit the fresh breezes and there are no lurking frosts in the bright atmosphere seeking an opportunity to blight the fragrant flowers that still bloom ill gorgeous pro- fusion. The contrast in these conditions are too great for one who has not exper- fenced them, to fully conceive. Here in the land of perpetual sunshine there is no preparation necessary to meet the long, cold and dreary winter. Our eel lars are not filled with perishable pro- ducts and our coal bins are not replen- ished to withstand the belsaguering forces of the frost king; our barns do not con tam large apartments filled with many tons of hay for our cattle, but during the season we call winter the garden still SUD- plies our vegetable food; the wood ven- dor finds slow sale for his loads of dry mesquite and the cattle graze contentedly upon the green fields tL at do not remind one of the proximity of Christmastide. The lovely winter season in Arizona is itself gem so precious that, were there no other equally deslrsbls advantages, ought surely to turn big tide of i'm migration to our favored land.

Management of Fre.h Cows.

The management of fresh COW should
begin at least two months before calv-
ing. At this time tho COW should stop
milking or be dried of gradually. No
grain food should be given, but hay or
good corn fodder only. 1t is we'll to
have the cow separated from the herd a
week before she calves, and quiet,
comfortable, roomy pen should DO pro-
vided especially for such cows. Here
she should be watched carefully, and
when the calf appears it should be taken
from the COW before it has sucked her.
This is an important point in dairy,
and saves much trouble. The COW
should have a mess Of warm bran Stops
with handful of salt in it, and should
be left six hours in quiet. She should
then be MIXED and the milk given to
the calf, which should be taught to drink
by the use of the finger until it will
drink readily without it. The COW
should be kept in the pen until the
milk is fit for use, when she may &C
back to her place with the rest of tho
herd. The calf is kept out of sight and
hearing of the COW until there is mt
risk of worrying over it.-Neo Yorl
